This Cookies Policy applies to all users of the website http://factual.silkmart.ro.

The information below is intended to inform users of this website about the placement, use, and management of cookies while browsing this website.

1. What are cookies?

An “internet cookie” (also known as “browser cookie,” “HTTP cookie,” or simply “cookie”) is a small file made up of letters and numbers, stored on a user’s computer, mobile device, or other equipment used to access the internet.

Cookies are installed through a request sent by a web server to a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome).

Once installed, cookies are “passive,” meaning they do not contain software programs, viruses, or spyware and do not access information from the user’s hard drive.

A cookie consists of two parts: the cookie name and the cookie content/value.

Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it when the user returns to the associated website.

2. What are cookies used for?

• Anticipating potential future products/services offered to users based on their activity on the website.

Feedback collected via cookies may help improve website efficiency and accessibility.

Cookie lifespan varies depending on their purpose:

• Session cookies – deleted automatically when the browser is closed.
